CHRISTMAS # 24

 Hello everyone,

Brr, what happened to summer or Spring at least, not that I mind being chilly but really, my lettuce's and tomatoes won't like this change and warnings for the weekend...time to batten down the hatches.

Where are we, Christmas # 24...

This was frame making day, well and hour or two really, and I had a great time, had some thoughts of where I was going..

and my little friend to help clean up the mess..

I do one patterned paper and 4 white frames, glue them altogether

and it makes a nice sturdy frame..

BUT!..this time before gluing away in my own little world,

 I had a thought, lets make some shakers..

so out came small bags and they fitted perfectly behind the frame,

 no timming, no nothing...

and the first one up was this frame with the deer on it..

and some Deer..

which I struggled with and the room was blue, trust me.

In the end, they came together after I rearranged eyes and feet..

I used a marker in the end for those as they were just so small and fiddle and even the noses were a nightmare, the layers were hard and I had trouble of where to put stuff..but

I do love the die set and will definitely use it again, just do my own thing though..

moving on, I made a felt snowbank...

That took some time to dry

then filled the bag with snowy goodies...

die cut and put together pinecones....also Honey Bee Stamps,

 brilliant things, and leaves.

And before I stuck the deer on, I made another felt snowbank and put it on the outside of the card,

 in front of the shakers bits, so there really is a surprise...

Tiny bits of glue to hold those feet down, they were springing up all the time,

 I think those deer were getting ready to fly!!..

You can see the shading on the deer and the shaker bits floating around..

added some berries and mistletoe branches.

Card standing up and all the shaker bits hidden.

just a few straggler snowflakes, always the way..

Needs something??

I SPLATTERED it..and added tiny white enamel hearts,

 which unfortunately looks like white blobs, but they are hearts..

So, there you go, the room colour has cleared, everyone survived,

it was a day, I tell you..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx
